Robin Benway did a fantastic job with "The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May and June".The sisters are funny and entertaining. She gives each an amazing individual personality that helps the reader to follow along with their story.
Each sister narrates a chapter. Robin has done this in away that as the reader you won't need stop and take a look at who is speaking. You can distinguish this by the way they speak and how they express themselves.
I like how each sister's power complements their personality.

April (Oldest and can see the future)
April is the oldest sister and she uses her power in order to protect her family. She looks into their future in hopes of keeping them safe from any harm that might come to them in the near future. By always staying a step ahead of them and trying to protect them from every little thing, she has created tension between her and her sisters.
June feels April is to bossy and controlling, so she rebels and winds up in trouble.
May (Middle sister and can become invisible)
June feels April is to bossy and controlling, so she rebels and winds up in trouble.
May (Middle sister and can become invisible)
May has had a hard time with her parents divorce. She keeps to herself and doesn't try to make friends. She sees herself as invisible to the world already, so the fact that she can become invisible is an added bonus. She can skip school and if she needs to get away she can become invisible and escape the situation she is in at that moment in time.
But because of her ability she winds up feeling more left out and becomes distant from her family.
June (Youngest and can read minds)
But because of her ability she winds up feeling more left out and becomes distant from her family.
June (Youngest and can read minds)
June is the youngest and thinks she knows everything because she can read minds. She tries so hard to fit it and be popular. She uses her abilities to become friends with Mariah who is the "it" girl at school. It's not long before she finds herself in trouble with her new best friend.
Will the sisters be able to come to turns with their powers, or will their powers destroy their love for one another.

Product Description:
All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't make it back.
John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge -- and over....
Review:
Going Too Far is a must read. This story is truly unforgettable.
Meg goes too far one night and as punishment is assigned to follow John on night shifts for one week during spring vacation.
Both Meg and John have been effected by tragic events in their past. Each go to very extensive lengths to leave their lives in accordance to how their past has influenced them.
Meg has decided to live her life to the fullest and escape this small town she has lived in her entire life.
John intends to live his life by the law.
Both push the other to see the world from their eyes and by doing so push one another too far. The question is, will their love for one another with stand tests, or will they push each other too far.
This is one love story you won’t want to miss. I find myself reading this book again and again.
Jennifer Echols has written two characters that are full of strength and bravery. You will laugh, cry and find yourself routing for each character as they face each obstacle that they come up against.
